These are just some of the main aspects to consider before deciding on a company that will cater to their real estate needs.

Reputation is as important as anything else, it is important to check a company?s reputation before making a decision. So a smart move to begin with is to investigate about a company?s reputation. Find out if the company has a good name and if they have handled business properly and have beneficiated other costumers in the past. Even better, if you know some people who have made a move on Costa Rica real estate before, take your time to talk to them and ask them for some advice on which company would be best to cater to your needs. In addition, if you have read o heard anything bad about a specific company, it is definitely better if you stay away from them.

Licensed agents are a very good asset to real estate companies in Costa Rica, so it is fairly important that you ask and check about them when you are considering the different companies that may be offering their services to you. It is actually not a requirement in Costa Rica for agents to be licensed to work in real estate and it is not strange to be contacted by one who is not; by no means am I saying that unlicensed agents are fraudulent or not trust worthy, I just think that it is better when they are. So take your time to look for a company that works with licensed real estate agents and you will be one step closer to a safe and satisfying transaction.

Also, most companies will charge for their services, so take your time to also compare prices and services between them before making a final decision on which Costa Rica real estate company you are going to deal with.
